Prince Of Persia - Tumblr Posts
In Defense of Non-Block Busters: I am doomed to love films that will never get a sequel. Thanks critics. Thanks people who illegally download a movie instead of paying for a ticket.There is a long, agonizing scream that sounds inside my head when I think about what could have been.
I know I mostly post Sonic stuff but oh my God I need more people to pay attention to Prince of Persia: The Lost crown.
The entertainment industry as a whole is on the verge of collapse and games like this are gonna be thriving. A Non-Triple A title that is gorgeous and plays very well Have I mentioned the game is beautiful???
Screenshots + long rant below cut (spoiler free)
I saw people complaining that this game wasn't worth the 50 dollar price because it was 2D. Huh?? Y'all know Mario Wonder was 70 dollars for virtually the same game play, right? No shade to Mario Wonder it's great but you can't use 2D isn't worth 50 as a talking point when Mario Wonder made headlines and few people complained about it being way too much.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is developed by an indie company (Ubisoft), and the composer of the game is Gareth Coker who did the music for Ori, and Ark Survival Evolved. It's not on Steam yet because Ubisoft wants to sell more copies before going to Steam which has a high fee on developers who use it as a platform.
There are some things I don't like. One namely being the game-crashing glitch I ran into. There's a side quest you take from a pirate guy and it freezes the game and I had to go on Reddit to figure out how to fix. Hopefully that gets patches soon. Another thing I don't line much is the voice acting. Sargon's lines especially feel a little flat to me, especially for how well his emotions are animated. The voice lines just don't fit. But those are my only two big things. I love the platforming, the completely customizable difficulty, the game is also huge as well. I'm 10 hours in and only about 40% done. I also have a huge bias for metroidvania style games. Having free reign of a huge map filled to the brim with lore is just very nice and fun.
The best thing though? Colors. Colors. Colors. The blue and red dynamics are amazing. Even combat dynamics are colored (such as yellow vs red vs white attacks and how they impact your parry)
Holy shit, Prince of Persia Sands of Time is on Steam for $2 go get it!!!! It's such a good PS2 game! Like legit fun to play and also the story is rad!
So I'm playing the new Prince of Persia game and Sargon is so gay for Prince Ghassan (I don't know if it's intentional or not and they only met the once but come on, Sargon is wearing his sash the whole game and is on a mission to rescue him and I did not survive the 90s era of subtext to not read too much into every little thing when it comes to gay ships XD)
Finished Prince of Persia the Lost Crown last night and I'm still pissed. The story sucks man. It's all a lot of cool looking things just to look cool and I would have been fine with that on its own, but everything that happens is simultaneously by the numbers generic but trying so damn hard to pretend it's not that it falls on its face. I still don't know why the bad guy is bad (I mean, I guess his dad died and he became generic evil) nor conversly why we're supposed to give a shit in the end. You kill all your friends and they believe your story on their death beds for... some reason. Meanwhile the game is chock full of really interesting parts and mysteries that are just never solved. What the fuck was up with the old man?! Ugh! So, in conclusion: very fun game to look at, very fun to play, absolute dogshit story that will ruin the experience by the end.
favorite duos (of all time and kind): dastan & tamina, prince of persia: sands of time. ↳ “we make our own destiny, princess. we’ll get it back.”

The beginnings of a gender-swap as requested by one of my patrons. (You can see the original Prince of Persia cover it's based off of here.)
I'm pretty pleased with how it's coming along so far.
